This week's e-newsletter is dedicated to black screenwriters. These are the creative souls who write and develop screenplays for tv and film. They are storytellers with a heart for showing the world the beauty of black life through the eyes of a black writer. We celebrate screenwriters including Jordan Peele (Get Out), Lena Waithe (The Chi), Issa Rae (Insecure), and the countless creatives who are leaving their mark on the film and tv industry.
